Abstract
We say that a graph is -edge-Hamilton-connected if has a Hamilton cycle containing all edges of for any with such that is a linear forest. In 2012, Kužel et al. conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is 2-edge-Hamilton-connected, and proved that it is equivalent to Thomassen's conjecture stating that every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. In this paper, we prove that for every -connected line graph is -edge-Hamilton-connected.
